**The 2011 grade 12 results examination council of zambia pdf** With the release of the examination council's latest report, it is clear that there are serious issues with the education system in Zambia. The report reveals that about 30% of grade 12 students who took their exams last year scored a passing mark, considerably lower than what was predicted. Many students failed to meet expectations for their subjects due to lack of knowledge and poor exam preparation. It also reveals great disparity in education across urban and rural areas with only 17% of urban students reaching the minimum pass mark compared to 38% of rural students. Most of the students who failed the exams have been hiding their results due to fears of stigmatization. The level of poor performance has been attributed to the high number of students that took the exams as late as three months before results were due. Government has been urged to put in place a quota system to ensure that those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds receive sufficient education. Many parents have also been staying away from their children's schools because they do not want them to be socially stigmatized for low performance. Finally, a scathing report released on last week revealed that some examiners were going against the national curriculum by allowing pupils to take short-cut questions which they wouldn't normally be allowed to answer on real exams. The passing mark for this exam was only 25% and many students who were supposed to take the exams up to two months before received one day's notice of the exams. The following questions and answers will be taken from the report:. Reasons why these results were lower than expected: One of the main reasons that these results were lower than expected was that too many students took their exams late and that led to chaos in some schools. If Zambian education was more organized, students would have been better prepared for their exams and failing grades could have been avoided. Another reason that had a lot to do with this failing grade is that the government did not put enough effort into the education system. Many of the teachers did not have sufficient qualifications, this caused many of them to be inexperienced and many were brought in from other countries. Teachers were also often under-qualified which lead to a number of teachers being ill paid and even underemployed . Another major reason for failing grades in 2011 was that there was a lack of teachers in many schools and pupils had to go and study in other schools due to lack of facilities at their own school. Poor infrastructure can cause students papers with questions that are way out of the syllabus. The fact that the teachers did not have enough time to prepare for these exams was another cause of poor results. Many of the students did not study for their exams because they were unable to find materials in time which is also another factor that has lead to poor results. Another problem is that many of the pupils did not know how to answer questions, this causes them to fail their exams even though they are capable of doing well. Poor curriculum was another cause of failing grades . Some pupils failed their exams because the syllabus was not followed strictly or some students were allowed shortcuts on subjects that are normally allowed in real exams. eccc085e13
